Im confident it won't happen. The Royals only have an affiliate who own the note on that ground, they don't own the land. Kansas has already committed funds to Fiserv locating a campus on that property, which will bring thousands of jobs to OP. I have a hard time believing they are going to back incentives to the Royals on the same property.
I honestly don’t want them there, it’s next to my in laws house in Leawood and it would make travel there a nightmare with as often as we see them. Just what they heard, and are confident in. And for some reason excited about.
I’m really happy for Jackson residents actually. Don’t have to pay billions for two stadiums and the teams aren’t even leaving the metro.
We will see, but I'll be surprised. Before today, the Fiserv announcement was one of the biggest deals in Kansas ever, so I just don't see them backing the Royals in that location.
I still really like this plan...
Firm envisions Royals stadium a place where 'Home runs can be hit out of one state and into another'
A Kansas City Royals stadium "where home runs can be hit out of one state and into another?" That's what MANICA Architecture, a KC-based firm, envisions in conceptual renderings.

Yeah this seems like a big win for the folks on the MO side, other than the ticket prices about to go insane.
Of course there are. Lee's Summit, Liberty, etc .. I thought we learned a long time ago though that if you let the flagship city of the metro go to hell there is a trickle down effect? Look at St. Louis. I mean look at KCMO before they invested in Power and Light and built the Sprint Center. You let your city core go to **** and inevitably the metro does too in a lot of ways. Even people who live in the suburbs should be smart enough to root for KCMO. Just like anywhere else.
Lots of lost revenue for KCMO and Jackson County though. Tax payers will most likely be covering some of that moving forward.
How much revenue are they going to lose? Those teams belong in the city not the suburbs.
Right, instead of higher taxes and getting in their car to drive to the game they get lower taxes and getting in their car to drive to the game.
How much are Chiefs and Royals stadiums worth? Their taxes give at least some hint
Verifiable numbers are hard to come by in the bidding war for the Royals and Chiefs. Last year, the two teams generated nearly $70 million in city, county and state taxes, but it would take decades to generate enough revenue to make up the price tag of new stadiums.

The stadiums would have paid themselves off and they lose all the revenue from people patronizing the area on gameday weekend. Ask Des Moines how much they lost out on when concerts were at Hilton all those years before they built Wells Fargo.
3/8 of one cent is what it would cost Jackson County taxpayers.
Double dog?
It’s just a funny way to put it, saying it’ll only cost 1/8th of a cent makes it sound dirt cheap. Don’t be so sensitive.
